8 Chapter 8

“So why are you in town for the next six months?” Shawn asked.

“The new development out near the freeway. I’m a glazier, and I was between jobs when I heard that they were looking for subcontractors out here, so I put in a bid.”

“That’s going to be nice when it’s all done. Just about everybody remotely connected to contracting around here is working on it.”

“Are you?”

“Yeah, but not until it’s almost done. I’m in landscaping.”

Dario gestured at the rather tired-looking lawns they passed. “I take it you don’t do too much work in Crows Landing?”

“More now that all the development’s come to town, but yeah, most of my work’s always been more rural. Places people from LA or the Bay buy up to get some land away from the city.”

Dario snorted. “It wasn’t too long ago when people were fleeing to the city. Nobody lived out here unless they absolutely had to.”

The look Shawn shot him as they turned the corner was more than a little curious. “You liked it enough to come back.”
